    Absolutely not! It is normal for some types of dermatitis your skin can peel. Just wait till all the new barriers form and then the dead skin layers will all be natural peel off. While you are healing you can feel very dry so apply some moisturizers and don’t peel off the skin with your fingers, Thank you. READ MORE

The best thing to do is let the wart grow and get cryotherapy done from your PCP. However, don't forget to get a fungal study done as well for differential diagnosis. Thank you. READ MORE
